Switch to DBC

On January 18, 2017, Dorado Media announced it would launch a service similar to The CW Plus that is primarily carried on digital subchannels and non-broadcast cable television outlets. The service is intended for areas ranked below the top 99 television markets in the United States.

In addition to the launch of the new service, Dorado Media also announced that several independent stations would be converted into DBC stations. Since Dorado Media co-owns the Dorado Broadcasting Company, the stations wouldn't launch as owned-and-operated.

The switch is expected to take place by mid-February, following several other stations owned by Dorado Media that will become ACME owned-and-operated stations.

Launch

On February 3, 2017, KLST became the first station to transition its independent station status into a DBC affiliate. The change in affiliation officially took effect at 4:00 a.m. PT with the launch of their new morning newscast "A Brand New Day in Los Santos".
